Let me tell you why. We have three former champs on the main portion. It doesn’t matter that none the trio is likely to end up with a strap again, but we do have some recognizable talent for this on-the-road card. The other, more obvious reason is that we’ve become so used to digesting th…

We got a terrific performance out of Merab Dvalishvili, who had his way with Sean O’Malley and ended up ultimately submitting him. O’Malley’s lifestyle changes did nothing—in fact, Sean seemed even less competitive than their first fight. Kayla Harrison blessed…

If one thing has been driven home, it’s that UFC is going to give us slop and somehow, people still love it. This weekend doesn’t have a wealth of great fights, but it has two titles on the line and some solidly decent contests. 10 years …

UFC Vegas 107 looked absolutely awful on paper, but in practice, we did have some exciting moments. The ladies’ fights were somewhat underwhelming, though. Alice Ardelean defeated Rayanne dos Santos, which wasn’t a terrible watch and even won FOTN. However, Macy Chiasson vs. Ketlen Vieira was a complete slog of a contest that saw Vieira victorious. Side note: Chris Leben turned in an awful score card for that fight. Dusko Todorovic was bested by Zachary Reese in another ho-hum bout of no consequence. On the prelims, we were treated to just one finish, courtesy of Jordan Leavitt. The main card saw more action with finishes from Dustin Jacoby and an incredibly violent one from Ramiz Brahimaj, who looked like he was trying to rip Billy Ray Goff’s head off his body. If you’re wondering about Blanchfield vs. Barber, that fight got canceled due to a medical issue with Maycee Barber. That’s right, folks, the main event got scratched mere moments before Barber’s walkout (Blanchfield made the walk). Hopefully, Maycee makes a full recovery and Erin gets her show and win money.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.com [https://themmadrawpodcast.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_7] UFC Vegas 107 is not giving what it needs to give, stat-wise. A whopping 12 fighters are coming off losses—on a card that only has 11 fights. Fourteen of the athletes hail from the Contender Series. Could it provide a bunch of action? Sure. Will it matter to the advancement and growth of the competitors outside the two ranked bouts? All movement here is…
